Description

Capped at 500km

This is a classic four-panel cotton cycling cap celebrating the now traditional Rapha Festive 500. As many riders undertake the challenge during deep winter, Rapha has included reflective logos on the brim of the cap to help visibility in low light, while the design is inspired by festive stamps - a nod to the season of giving and riders sending Rapha their stories from the Festive 500.

Poor Design?My F500 hat has arrived. A good fit and good quality. pattern ok though I preferred the snow flake style of previous years. Would also have liked the option of a t shirt if you complete the challenge. One problem is that all the panels come together at the top of the cap. This means that the seams are very prominent at this point which can be uncomfortable if worn under a helmet. ALL my other caps without exception have a seamless panel over the top of the head for this reason.

Tight fit!Bought this cap to commemorate completing the Festive 500 and I also needed a new lightweight cap. Quality is the usual Rapha standard so no problem there. The only quibble I have is with sizing hence the 4 stars. The cap is listed as one size and although I don't have particularly large head the cap is very tight and gets uncomfortable after a little while. Would probably be better if two sizes were offered.

Great design but kinda smallI love the branding for Festive 500, and all the product in this line had great design. I received this cap last week and was excited to wear it, however the fit runs kinda small for me.
The cap has reflective material which is great when you riding in the dark, I love the color and the pattern too.
Overall I would recommend to friends but maybe go try on at the store if you can, so you know how it fits.

Great Cap!What better way to commemorate your Festive 500 than a classic cap from Rapha. It fits just like my other Rapha caps so no surprises there. It can be a bit snug especially after a few washes but I have a small head so no problem there for me. The quality is just what you'd expect from Rapha, nothing short of the best!

Great looking capBought to commemorate my Christmas efforts. Typical attention to detail from Rapha. Looks great on and off the bike. It's universal size might not appeal to all as it fits my small head well and I usually get the size small caps from Rapha.

Feels expensive!Got it a couple off weeks ago, it's the only cap I've been riding in since. It's really good quality, and the reflective details stand out. Only issue is one size only, and it feels just a bit too small. Size options would be great.

First casquetteFor my first casquette I wanted something memorable and stylish. I got both with this Rapha item plus a good piece of technical wear that did not cause my head to overheat under the helmet even when I was pedalling hard.
